Please continue to make sure your child(ren) are healthy and feeling well before sending them to school.
If you are late to school (after 9:00 am), your child(ren) must enter through the upper front door by the salmon mural and check-in at the office. The upper front door is now unlocked during the day so no need to call or ring the doorbell. All parents entering the school must enter through the upper front door and check-in at the office.
If your child(ren) will be absent from school, please email souattendance@vsb.bc.ca or phone 604-713-5159 as soon as possible and leave your child's name, division number, the date and whether they will be absent or late. If you phone, you will be required to use a school code. The Southlands school code is 79#.

Mark your calendars! Southlands Elementary PAC is hosting a Winter Clothing Swap on December 12th, starting at 3:00 PM in the school gym. This is your chance to bring any gently used winter clothing that no longer fits and swap it for items you need—everything from jackets and snow pants to hats and boots. All sizes are welcome, including adult clothing.
Donating Made Easy:
You can drop off your donations on November 26th and November 28th between 8:50 AM and 9:15 AM, or December 2nd and December 9th between 2:50 and 3:15pm right outside the gym doors. Please ensure all donated items are very clean and in excellent condition. If you have a lot of items to donate, please bring them all in a large bag or box.
On December 12th, come by to pick up what you need, free of charge! After the event, any leftover items will be donated to the "Green Depot" at Wesbrook Community Centre, which offers free clothing to newcomers and refugees. The Grade 7 grad committee will also be selling hot chocolate, to keep you warm while you browse.
Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to refresh your winter wardrobe while helping others in our community. See you there!
